Give me a list of the top, say...ten books you think I should read before I die.
No need to put any HP books on the list, of course. But feel free to put something someone else may have already listed. The more I see it, the more I'll be sure to read it if I haven't already. =)
Thank you very much, I appreciate your help.
Soon, I'll actually update rather than keep asking for favors. *winks*

on 2006-11-28 12:51 am (UTC)Ohh! Lovely book suggestions! I've actually read 1,2,5,6, and 10 but it's been aaaagges. And I've read Frankenstein a million times. One of my faves for sure. I actually tried to watch the movie, the classic from 1930 something with that Boris guy and couldn't do because it's too far off from the book. Adam just laughed at me. I got through the first...oh, five minutes and stopped. Thank you for the list, darling. I do appreciate your opinions.
Love to ya and I'll try to get Ch 9 back to you asap.
*hugs*

And yes, the movie's absolutely terrible, it's so far off the book, it might as well have a completely different title.
Anytime, Miss. &hearts

I think there was only one (of the many) movies that stayed true to the book, and it has Mary Shelly's name in the title I believe though I've never seen it. It bothers me that people think the monster is Frankenstein...

on 2006-11-28 01:24 am (UTC)Yeah, until I read the book, I thought that Frankie was the monster. Pff.
Also, new footballer obsession. Which means I need new icons. Blargh.

on 2006-11-28 01:26 am (UTC)Hey, that's accomplishing something! I, on the other hand, accomplished nothing other than catching up on some sleep and watching movies in my spare time from working. When you work on the other side of Black Friday, it's not so fun...
Ooo, I just saw your update. Where's he from?
no subject
on 2006-11-28 01:33 am (UTC)Wednesday: all-day Grey's Anatomy marathon with Rita
Thursday: sleeping and eating and Grey's
Friday: BLACK FRIDAY (although yeah, I see where you're coming from. That sucks)
Saturday: trying to write applications, but wasting time on YouTube instead and
stalking Stevie Gwatching a BBCOne documentary on Steven Gerrard, and then my aunt's birthday partySunday: more trying, more procrastination
Today: even more trying, but less procrastination
He's the captain of Liverpool (coincidentally, my other Premiership team...) and has a pretty heavy Liverpoolian accent, which I find endearing. Lol.
Also, I've decided to nix college and higher education and just move to England to become a WAG (footballer's Wives And Girlfriends). I'd do the ridiculous shopping part really well.

on 2006-11-28 01:40 am (UTC)Ooo, Liverpool. When I was in London a few years back I tried to find Liverpool stuff (shirt with the football team or art uni or ANYTHING) but I guess since I was in the wrong part of the country... Well, being from Liverpool gives him the okay in my book. =)
*laughs* For some reason, my dear, I don't doubt that you'd make a superb WAG.

on 2006-11-28 01:46 am (UTC)Ah, can't you just see it? Me strutting down the streets of London spending all of my boyfriend/husband's money while I look absolutely fabulous. The only difference between a WAG and an Upper East Side second/third wife is the perks of free football tickets. Yaay!

on 2006-11-28 02:06 am (UTC)Ahhh, and that, would be a superb perk, wouldn't it?
